Save your money for something good and enjoyable

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

. . . BUCKEROO BUGS fully encapsulates ALL the whys and wherefores of the climactic day in the Chase for the 2016 Second American League Wildcard Slot. The opening narrator represents the always histrionic Fox Megacorp, which hates America's "Motor City" with a vengeance (since the United Auto Workers Union spawned a critically-thinking U.S. Middle Class at odds with Fox's Ultimate Goal to create a Nation of Burger Flippers dumb enough to swallow Fox's Alternate Universe programming). Knowing that the 2016 Tigers' Achilles Heels are day games, as well as Saturday contests (their record would top the Cubs IF they only played Sunday through Friday NIGHTS), Fox forces Detroit to switch the Saturday, Sept. 24 game from a 7:10 PM start to 1:05 PM (rubbing salt in the wound by depriving fans of their contracted Saturday Night Fireworks with this last minute switch). Did I happen to mention that the Tigers ALWAYS play their worse during National Broadcasts (since the gullible Mr. Burns made a thoroughly discredited pack of lies about Tiger icon Ty Cobb the centerpiece of his 139-hour BASEBALL television documentary), and this one made it clear that it's Magglio Ordonez Day, to "honor" Mr. Cartoon Hair for his place in Tiger History on the 10th Anniversary of Detroit's shocking 2006 World Series Defeat? That was the Series in which all the brainy pundits said that they had "the Tigers in THREE," St. Louis was supposedly so outmatched. With Ordonez batting about .090, it was the Cards in five.Getting back to BUCKAROO BUGS, the "Red Hot Ryder" character--representing the Tigers--enters astride the momentum of a runaway horse (symbolizing the Tigers' five-game winning streak through Sept. 23, which has allowed them to clamber over the Orioles into Wildcard Number Two). What does Red Hot do? He bludgeons his horse (remember, that's the Tigers' momentum) with a BALL BAT 2:26 into BUCKAROO BUGS! This is the always prophetic Looney Tuners' way of summing up how the Tigers would pound out 14 hits in the first eight innings Sept. 24, put 18 men on base, but ONLY eke out a measly 4 runs! Bugs Bunny emerges from his dugout in a whirl of dust 11 seconds later, at 2:37, representing Detroit's competition on National TV, the defending World Champion Kansas City Royals. Held to a paltry six hits through eight, KC is down to its VERY LAST STRIKE against Major League Baseball's current CAREER SAVES LEADER, "K-Rod." But since Francisco Rodriguez' "fast ball" has slowed over the years to about 20 MPH (mocked by Bugs when he dresses up as a gray-bearded "Western Bunions" telegraph "boy"), it's not hard to see that the Tigers' Emperor has no clothes, to anyone who cares to look.If anything, the Bugs Bunny of BUCKEROO BUGS could be classified as a voyeur, he loves to look so much. He taunts the geriatric Tigers by stripping them--in the guise of K-Rod--down to their barest undies THREE TIMES here! (The first and third times Red Hot Ryder is depicted in frilly white panties with pink polka dots; for his second denuding, K-Rod is pictured first in a white diaper, then just a fig leaf.) Proving he should have been put out to pasture years ago, like the 10-fingered (!) horse Red Ryder rode in on (BUCKAROO BUGS also uses the glue factory cliché concerning K-Rod), Rodriguez has the WORST OUTING OF HIS CAREER just when the Whole World Is Watching (thanks to Fox), and when the top-dollar-paying Tigers need him the most! K-Rod enters the Ninth with a 4-2 lead, and the Tigers are behind 7-4 when he leaves six hours (could it really have been that long?) later--AFTER ONLY GETTING TWO OUTS!! (Naturally, the shell-shocked Detroiters make their three outs in the Bottom of the Ninth as quickly as they can, despite having notched hits in each of the previous eight innings!) After enjoying this Clown Act on their clubhouse TV's, the Orioles have no problem in PERMANENTLY reclaiming their rightful lock on the Playoffs by easily winning THEIR game Sept. 24. I still can't get over how the Looney Tuners so aptly put the Tombstone on Detroit's 2016 season by having Red Hot Ryder jump his washed-up K-Rod 10-fingered nag into America's Grand Canyon!

One of the best bugs bunny cartoons of all time! Hardcore fans of looney tunes know that all the major directors at Warner bros. had a slightly different take on Bugs, and this is the best example of Bob Clampett's take on bugs. Bob's was Warner bro's "looniest" animator and he made bugs more screwy and more mischievous than the other cartoonist. In several of his cartoons bugs was the instigator, while the other cartoonist generally made bugs a victim who fought back. In this cartoon bugs is flat out the villain/antagonist and his nemesis, Red hot rider, is actually the hero/protagonist. But the great thing about this cartoon is even as the bad guy bugs still comes off as likable and you still root for him to win. I like the setting of the wild west where bugs is like billy the kid and red hot is a dumb Pat Garret. I love the over dramatic opening, it's a great parody on western movies. I love the woman saying "he pinched me!" in the opening, one of the best openings ever! that ends with the hilarious intro for Red hot. I love Red Hot Rider! he is one of the best enemies Bugs ever faced, and I wish Bob or someone else would of brought him back to face bugs some more times. Red hot might be the only person dumber then Elmer Fudd! I love how "cartoony" this is and Bob always has the best gags. I also love the lack of logic in this cartoon, like when bugs robs red hot twice. The first time bugs uses a magnet to take all his medals and golds causing his pants to drop, showing his women's bloomers but the 2nd time bugs uses a magnet to rob him of the same stuff he took from him before(how did he get his stuff back after bugs robed him the 1st time?) causing his pants to drop and this time he has no bloomers, just a leaf to cover his privates. So how could've he change his under garments? There's no logic here just pure wacky humor. I love when red hot dosen't realize that he's riding a piece of wood not his horse and his horse waits patiently for him to realize it. I love the way in which bugs is playing red hot, pretending to help him locate the outlaw while at the same time robbing him and playing tricks on him, with red hot being too stupid to realize it's the same person. Kind of a take on how Elmer would tells bugs he's hunting wabbits and bugs pretending he dosen't know what a rabbit looks like. I also like the clever way in which bugs gets red hot to jump over cliffs until he jumps into the grand canyon, that could of fooled even a smart person. I love the reaction of the horse when he sees he's falling into the grand canyon and then desperately tries to get back on the cliff. Only at the end bugs reveals to red hot that he's the outlaw known as the mask marauder. The animation's great and lively. The gags are great, this is what you call laugh out loud funny. I like the western music by Carl Starling and Mel Blanc's voice as bugs and red hot. A bugs bunny classic!

Buckaroo Bugs is a thoroughly entertaining Bugs Bunny cartoon. My only problem was that Red while he is voiced brilliantly and has some nice juicy dialogue comes off weak and silly as a character. Buckaroo Bugs is entertaining for primarily a rootin' tootin' performance from my favourite rabbit(or wabbit as Elmer would say) if there ever was one. Bugs is well supported by some rapid razor sharp dialogue, wonderful visual gags, great animation and a corker of a score with the William Tell Overture played to perfect use. And Mel Blanc? What can I say about this truly talented guy? I know I keep going on about him, but he does deserve credit for bringing these truly wonderful toon characters to life and and being funny in the process. Overall, near-perfect as a cartoon, that is lots of fun. 9/10 Bethany Cox

The roughest, toughest hombre to come out of the West...with the longest ears, to boot."Buckaroo Bugs" shows Bugs as the typical anti-hero who tangles with cowboy "hero" Red Hot Ryder (who has a nose to rival Bugs' ears) who, in turn, seeks out the Masked Marauder after he steals a town's carrots from their victory garden (hmmm...wonder who that could be?).Of course, Bugs gets involved and repeatedly humiliates old Red Hot (twice with a magnet and once with a Western Bunions telegram). But what can you say about a hero whose bravest -and smartest- feature is his horse?Chuck Jones gets in some pretty racy visual jokes for a cartoon and Mel Blanc makes Bugs' wiseacre potshots and Red Hot Ryder's naivete-bordering-on-stupidity all the funnier.Ten stars for "Buckaroo Bugs". Yee-haw!
